Yesterday I changed the crankshaft pulley screw, as the pulley gets loose after a some months of using the car since the rebuilding. Now I changed that big screw (as it was said a lot of time in this site), with using a lot of screw locking glue. I made a special tool to lock the pulley (as I saw it on this site) while tightening the screw with about 250 lbft.
No word how helpful is this forum!
Some more works were yesterday on the silver XJR. I installed front fender (wing) mud flaps, and made a suspension/wheel alignment. Lastly I tried to change the fuel filter, but one of that's connection (left side screw) is so rusty that I gave up it until next weekend..

Yesterday Sunday, a nice 76 degrees outside here in Cary, NC winter, I decided to take a chance and flush my heater core.... (car has no cabin heat since purchased the car last May, but A/C has been way more important since then). Well, the flush was successful.... let there be HEAT! OK, so today though experienced a misfire on Cyl #8. Great. Now I can't even enjoy the cabin heat as I need to fix that problem first... I did have a lot of water "splashing" around the engine and probably caused a short somehow.

well on my way to flush the coolant, at my local shop i realized i forgot something so as i approach my house i noticed the steering was losing power, so i pulled her into the garage, and a bunch of weird noises started occuring so i shut her off, and noticed a big stream of coolant leading up into my garage, which now has a puddle

I changed all four rotors, and brake pads yesterday. The brakes feel grrrreat! Got the whole package from the place called "CBrakes" in Garden Grove. Slotted and cross drilled rotors, and semi metalic pads. Good for another 50-60K. The whole job was $275.- plus three hours of my labor.

Love your steering wheel man! I have the identical one in my VDP, but it has a scratch in the leather on the left side. I need to take it off, and have it redyed. That's on my "ToDo" list.
